Jodi-I really enjoyed your post and I pray 2010 will be an amazing year for you. God used Presidio in so many ways. Preschool Ministry benefitted from it and Jeremy’s giving heart. I know you will be blessed! You are amazing!

Riding on Jennifer’s coat tails… Beth Moore reminds us from Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego’s story that we are often faced with 3 scenarios when faced with a fiery trial:

1) We can be delivered FROM the fire.
The dividend being – our faith is built.

2) We can be delivered THROUGH the fire.
The dividend being – Our faith is refined.

3) We can be delivered BY the fire (straight into His arms).
The dividend being – Our faith is perfected (made complete).

(Thanks again, Amy E. for lending me the Daniel study to re-study!!!)

LOVE what Amy B. said, too! And He shall make fishers of men! Ha!

My sweet friend, if I don’t tell you often enough – I am so proud of you! You are truly a remarkable woman with strength and courage that amazes me. Jeremy is blessed beyond measure to have you as his helpmate and Emery and Savannah are sure to the reap the benefits of a godly mother. I am so fortunate to call you my BFF and I’m inspired by the way you live your life. I’ve seen you walk through the difficult days of this past year, and I’ve been amazed at how you handled them. My prayer for you is that the coming year will be one of restoration all the way around. Much love!

I hope and pray that through the burning of all of that stuff that perhaps you both broke free from the bondage of the past. I pray that God will use your family this year in ways that you would have never imagined before, and that you both finally find the peace that you so deserve. As I told you once before, Brian and I hold a lot of respect for you and Jeremy for all of the little things he did for us. You will never know how much it meant to have Jeremy be one of the first people to offer him a job when he lost his. God has great things in store for your family. I pray His blessings on you all in the New Year!

In His love,
Carrie

“And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into or hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.” (Rom.5:5)
Our pastor shared an observation about Daniel 3 (story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego) in relation to trials we face. He said, “Take note that the only thing burned up in the fire was the thing that bound them.”
That spoke to me profoundly as I looked back on some of our trials and realized clearly that the Lord was and is refining us for HIS work!
I can’t wait to see what the Lord does through your sweet family!!!!!
